I dont quite understand this part... do you suggest that the music is
built automatically by sensors controlled by the dancers?
Somehow I doubt this will turn out nice, and I dont see the necessity
since there are some many loopers that want to play...
FWIW, there is the I-Cube system by Infusion Systems. (www.infusionsystems.com) The I-Cube has a lot of sensors (Like tilt and tap) designed to allow the dancers to either trigger MIDI events, or send CC messages. there is also the BodySynth (www.synthzone.com/bsynth.html), and various gloves designed for MIDI (I-cube also has gloves). The ControllerZone has an interesting collection of controllers (www.synthzone.com/ctrlr.htm). Some of these may provide some nice options for Loopers.
